SIMPLY "THE PRESIDENT"

How TO Address the Chief Magistrate of
the United States.
1t was not at all strange that, after
their sad experience under monarthial
rule, that early Americans should Lave
dislikcd every thing that savored Of
royalty. This spirit found expression
in the Constitution itself. 1t was dis
tinctly provided that ''No title Of no.
bility shall be granted by the United
States" The question was raised as 20
what cities it will be proper to annex
to the offices of President and Vice
President of the United States; if any
other than those given in the Constitu'
tionp" and this matter was deemed OF
sufficient importance to receive the at
tention of special joint committee of
both houses. This committee reported
that the President should be addressed
as "H1s Excellency.' The Senators
would not agree to the report. A COM
mittee of conference was then appoint
ed, and reported .'that, in the opinion
of the committee, it will be proper to
thus address the President: His High
ness, the President of the United States
of America, and Protector of their Lib
critics. - The members of the House
would consent to nothing Of the kind.
The result of the whole matter is shown
in the resolution passed by the Sem
ate on the 18th Of May, 1889, which
held:
1t would be proper to annex a re-
spectacle title to the office of President
Of the United States; but the Senate,
desirous Of preserving harmony with
the House Of Representatives, where
the practice lately observed in pre-
senting an address to the President
was without the addition of titles,
think it proper, for the present, to act
in conformity with the practice of the
House; therefore
Resolved, That the present address be:
"..To the President Of the United
|States,'' without addition of title.
That resolution has never been dis
turbed, and there is no Legislative au-
thority for any other address than the
one SO adopted High-sounding titles
are hardly in good taste in q republic.

virtues. How many q guest has gone

A little care and thoughtfulness will
make visiting :. less trying ordeal
In the first place, it is better to UNDER
stay rather than overstay an invitation,
and is pleasanter for. both parties it the
length of the visit desired is stated be-
fore hand by the hostess. Perhaps the
most consideration of all is that the
family routine should be disturbed as
little as possible. Be up in time for
breakfast and prompt at all meals. Do
not ask for tea or milk at odd times. or
order what is not on the table. Ee-
member you are not at a hotel. once
saw lady guest call for olives when
they were not on the bill of fare, and
the hostess has never forgotten this
particular act of rudeness. Make as
little trouble as possible.
If there is only one overwcrked SER

Have some employment Of your own
as IN excuse for retiring to your own
room for some time each day. Do not
follow your hos ess about all the time,
as she generally has many duties, and
especially respect private rooms, un-
less particularly invited to them. Do
not give your washing to the house
servant. Pay for your own luggage in
coming and going, if a public convey
ance is employed, and do not sponge
upon your hostess for car fare and
trivial expenses. These little things
make many friendship less warm.
You certainly would not take one of
your friends with you unless par
ticularly invited to do so by the host
ess. DO not demand too much atte1l-
tion. Be easily pleased, and chime in
most cordially with any thing proposed
Try to please the tastes of your host
ess in every way. Consult their likes
and dislikes even in manners Of dress;
be interested in what interests them; be
sure not to hurt their feelings. Do not
criticise the family you visit; admire
what is good; do not notice the rest.
Do not always tell Of the fine things
you have seen or eaten elsewhere.
Help your hostess; a,nuse a child Or
entertain other guests. Show your love
for your hostess in all little ways. Give
the servant who waits upon you some
money. 1t makes it easier for the mis-
tress if the servants do mot object to
company" Try to make some return
for your yisits--either an invitation, a
timely gift, or at least honestly ex-
pressed gratitude or appreciation.
Lastly, study some one who is All ever

BROTHERLESS GIRLS.
vghy They Are Usually the Victims of Snn
dry AflectMtiuns.

q brotherless girl may have a Ian
guild air, q simpering expression and
the habit Of using long words where
short ones would be better, but any
one who can boast of from two to Ell hit
brothers is sure to have her little afec-
tations we'll wecded out. The girl
whose brother is one of her best friends
will not make eyes. nor draw], nor give
her photograph to an acquaintance Of
yesterday, nor answer advertisements
whose object is mutual improve
ment." She will understand that there
are some sorts of innocent sounding
slang that ought never to be used. and
she will remember that the women
who wish to retain the reverence of
men should decide how little slang they
can possibly get along with and not
use quarter of that. She will learn
that men, good and bad alike, treat a
silly woman civilly to her face and
pronounce her an awful goose behind
her back; that nobody has a profound
regard for awful geese except the men
who marry them, and that even they
we'll, we will not go further into the
subject, but any rate they find out a
great deal of which the brotherless girl
knows nothing at all.
A great deal is written about selfish
and depraved boys who are ruined for
life by the injudicious fondling re-
ceived from their mothers and sisters,
and it may be that, to a youth of nat
urally evil tendencies, petting and adu-
lation are almost as bad as snubbing
and scolding; but even bad boy has a
strong sense of justice, a love Of fair
play and a Willingness to stand up for
those who stand up for him. Any girl
who really interests herself in her ten,
OF twelve, or fourteen-year-old brother,
who acquaints herself with his ideas,
furthers his plans, shows that she takes
genuine pleasure in his society, will
find not only that her influence over
him is daily increasing, but also that
his wholesome, practical and sensible
way of looking at things is a decided
benefit to her.--Iorosto Globe.

HUMAN SACRIFICE.
Horrible Customs Prevailing In tho UI,"
peg Congo Region.

peg Congo Region.
The revolving custom OF human sac
rifce is carried on to q horrible extent
on the upper Congo river, principally
by the Ba-yanzi tribes. All slaves,
both men and women, are liable to this
barbarity. These people are under the
impression that u man ayin;s in this
world is simply transferred to another,
there to carry on exactly the same ex-
istence, requiring the same food and
attendance. Upon the death Of a chief
his relatives OF friends kill about half
his slaves, men and women, to go with
him, they say, to attend to his wants
and to serve for his protection, it bcing
very n1fra dig for chief to make his
entry into the next world without q
certain following. The women aro
strangled; a, rope is put around tho
neck oil the victim, a man climbs tree
and ties the rope to q branch, the vo-
man being held up, SO that when they
let her go she is swung in mid-,ir i'll
her dying struggles. These cause
great merriment among the spectators,
not thinking that at least great
many of them will slale che same
fate sooner or later. The men are be-
headed. The victim is seated Oh a log
of wood; two stakes are then driven
into the ground, one on each side OF
him, and as high as his shoulder;
bands are then put around his body,
inclosing it in these stakes, then two
stakes are driven by his knees and two
BY his ankles, one at each side, and he
is securely bound to them with a rope.
A ring of cane is then put around the
neck, with several leaders Of string,
which arc drawn up and tied in a knot
above his head a pliable pole about
eighteen feet long is then driven into
the ground, nine feet from the man 8
seat It's bent down just above the
mans head; small piece of rope is
fastened to the top Of the pole and the
other end Of the rope is made fast to
the knot above the mans head. This
being now at very strong tension, the
whole body is quite immoyable, and
the neck is stretched to its full extent.
The executioner then makes his appear
.ance. He makes chalk mark on the
poor fellows neck; then, with one
blow, sewers the head from the trunk.
The spectators at this seem to lose
control of themselves. They tear
down the head from the pole and there

.SUNFLOWER CHORUS.

Something Entirely New In the Way Of Al
Eyenings Entertainments.
There was a church festival in Hem
sonva!e and this is the way in which
Miss Belle Abbott introduced a new
feature into the well-worn list Of such
entertainments.
A placard was prominently displayed
at the festival reading:
:... $500
SOMETHING NEW. DON'T FAIL TO SEE IT.
All were kept in mystery until the
appointed time, when the manager,
stepping before the curtain, spoke Of
the statue of Memnon in Egypt, which
was accustomed to greet the rising sun
with song.
..More obliging than Memnon, he
said, certain stately American sum
flowers have beer found ready and
willing to sing whenever called upon.
Ladies and gentlemen" he added, 81
have been fortunate enough to secure
for our festival a cluster of these re-
markable additions to our native fora,
you our Sunhower Chorus
The slowly drawn curtain revealed
upon dark background thirteen large,
yellow suntlowers, with leaves and
stalks complete, and in the center OF
each a human face. Music came from
the piano near the stage, and to its ac-
compartment the cluster of human
sunGowers sang numerous selections
from familiar operas, popular songs
and melodies and college glees.
The Sunllower Chorus was voted a
grand success, and those not in the se-
cret begged Miss Abbott to tell them
how it was done. And this was her
explanation: One foot behind the stage
curtain, hangs another curtain Of dark
brown eambric, ten feet square; attach
this by rings to wire stretched nine
feet from the floor; tie cords to the
FIRST aud last rings, and, drawing the
curtain tightly, fastened these strings
to the wall on each side. The top being
now secured let the curtain hang
naturally; wrap the surplus cloth about
strip Of wood twelve feet long, two
inches wide, and one inch thick; tasten
this TO the Aoor by two Large screws,
and the flower screen will be tightly
stretched. .....
Group the singers in q picturesque
cluster behind the screen, with their
faces pressed against the cloth, alld at
distances from the floor varying from
one to eight feet; mark the position Of
each face, and cut, in the screen u hole
into which the face will closely lit.
Going now to the front of the screen,
arrange the flowers and leaves, which,
should be fully prepared beforehand
The rays of the suni}owcrs may be cut
from yellow paper, and the leaves and
stalks from green paper. Paste tho
rays around the openings. then ar~
range the stalks and Leaves III proper
position.
When ths paste is dry, remove tho
strip of wood from the bottom OF the
screen, unfasten one Of the cords at
the top and slide it back until needed
for use, when it may be easily put i.,to
position.
In summer the natural stalks and
leaves of the sunhower may be used
instead Of those made from paper.--St.

ESCAPED FROM SIBERIA.

u Z Z i.
An Exi1e's Thrilling story of His Plight
From Russia's Penal Colony.
A Russian political exile who recent
slY made his escape from Siberia tells a
thrilling story Of his escape and the
shardships which he endured in his at
tempt to regain his liberty. he is a
man Of about middle age, of pleasant
appearance, and speaks English well,
as most educated Russians do. He
gives his name as Baker-a anne which
he assumed since his arrival iE Lon
don.
With numerous companions Baker
was sent into exile early in 1881 for
completely in some plot against the
Cars life, and immured within one
of the Siberian interior villages, sur
rounded by vast tracts Of ice andsnow.
Here the prisoners were left in the
keeping Of few guards, but they were
prevented from escaping far more
effectually by the fear Of becoming the
prey of the fierce wolves, whose bay
ing at night could be distinctly heard
on all sides of the village. The idea
and hope of escape never leaves an ex-
lies mind, says Baker, and his one ab-
sorbing thought was how to reach free
dom, and the hope of accomplishing
this rem aims with an exile until death.
The exiles were obliged to go into the
forests near by and cut what wood they
used. and it was by this very means
that Baker succeeded in eluding the
vigilance of the guards and in leaving
the village.
One day while he and eompan-
ion We're securing their supply Of wood,
they accidentally came upon a small
opening, concealed by an evergreen
tree, which led to goodsized cave.
Here was a means Of escape. Without
giving the details, which Baker relates
so fully, it is enough to say that the
two exiles kept the matter secret, and
removed day by day to the c& Sc such
Of their provisions as they could spare
without exciting attention. When the
cave was stocked with food enough to
last for some time if frugally used, the
men prepared to take their departure
and begin the hard, doubtful struggle
for liberty. So, one day, they went out
for wood but did not return, Oh course
search was made for them, and the
country secured, but, having thrown
their pursuers off the track, the exiles
lived securely for nearly two weeks
within sight of their recent lace Of
confinement. AT the end of that time
they came out of their hiding-place
and began q journey full OF hair
breadth escapes and shocking suffer-
ings.
After innumerable dangers from
wolves, from Cossacks, from freezing
and starvation, they tially reached
civilization; but Baler's companion
died soon after their. escape from the
effects Of the terrible exposures he had
endured. Baker says that there is an
organized movement on foot among
nihilists to effect the escape Of 81 large
number of prominent political exlles,
and that the arrangements for the ac-
complishment Of the plan are most ex-
tensive. Nihlists in all parts Of the
world have contributed to the fund
necessary to carry out the design,
which will soon be put into operation.
